title: [The dermatoglyphic test in the detection and prevention of different genetic diseases].
abstract: The paper contains a study of the dermatoglyphics concerning a group of 100 women, mothers having at least one pluri-malformed child in the family and who are originally from the department an county of Iaşi. An increased incidence of the most important and the gravest digital and palmar dermatoglyphic abnormalities (dermatoglyphoses) whose presence in the table of the mothers apparently healthy from the somatic, physiological and neuropsychological point of view represents signals (stigmata) of their progenies' diseases has been observed to occur. The number of these dermatoglyphoses in the digito-palmar table of one and same carrier increases when the degree of somatic, physiological and neuropsychic degenerescence of these children is more emphasised, fact that justifies the employment of the dermatoglyphics as a test for the discovering and the prophylaxis of hereditary diseases.
